Chandrababu Will Win An Oscar As Uthama Villain Of AP: YS Jagan

Ravulapalem: The AP Leader of Opposition and YSR Congress Party Chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy began his public meeting in Ravulapalem of East Godavari district amid thunderous rounds of applause and loud roars of 'Jai Jagan' slogans from people.

Addressing a huge gathering of people, the people's leader said: Despite the sizzling temperatures, thousands of people walked alongside me during the course of my padayatra today. Not minding the sweat dripping from their bodies, scores of people matched steps with me pouring out their woes on one side, while according a warm reception on the other assuring me that they will stand by me. I fold both my hands and bow down my head in reverence to all those assembled here.

If Chandrababu gets to hear what people from this region told me, he would resign and go home. Anna, we watch so many movies at least 20 movies in a year. But we don't understand the movie that Chandrababu shows week after week, said one.

In Polavaram, there's just talk and no work. Corruption is at its peak. Even the common masses now understand that Chandrababu Naidu is upto just dramas and yellow media is busy promoting it spreading false propaganda of whatever he is doing. Without any work in Polavaram, Chandrababu's media channels are showing the little wall as Great Wall of China! The work is not even 20% complete, and he claims to have completed 55% of Polavaram project.

The worst thing is he never credits my father Dr YS Rajasekhara Reddy for the work that has been completed so far. In the last four years, nothing has been done from his side. He has turned Polavaram into a symbol of corruption. All because of the greed of commissions, he even mortgaged the interests of the state by compromising on Special Category Status to our state. In the first three years after Chandrababu Naidu took over, all the prices of building materials came down. But the estimation that our AP CM gave has been jacked up because of the benami contractors who have been handed the project. You could gauge the extent to which the state is being looted in the name of Polavaram.

The CM has taken the state into a state of debt. Even kids came up to us saying we have been taught to Rally for rivers to save water bodies in the country. However, the river beds of Godavari in our region have been dug for sand. Scores of truck have been carrying sands. When we build our houses, we never get any sand for that purpose while people are carrying thousands of truckloads of sand citing CM's name. The sand is free for TDP leaders alone. From MLAs to Collectors, every person under TDP is corrupt and they have been looting the state. They are not even sparing the sand. Only Chandrababu Naidu knows how to loot people with sand.

Farmers have their woes to tell. While farmers don't get minimum support price for their produce, the middlemen are selling the same to Chandrababu's Heritage stores where it is sold at exorbitant rates. I felt proud when farmers told me that my father late Dr Rajasekhara Reddy did all in his might to speed up the Polavaram project with all sincerity. Chandrababu promised the moon to us before elections. Holding the mike, he shouted from the rooftops saying he would build houses for the poor. It's been four years and not a single house has been built. Nobody can match Dr YSR's work when it comes to providing shelter for the homeless. Athreyapuram is known for pootharekhulu which is world famous. But the woman who prepare these sweet now have second thoughts as the power tariffs have hit the roof under Chandrababu Naidu. Same is the case with sale of pickles too. Babu doesn't spare even pickle sellers. The taxes are exorbitant and makes it impossible for these woman who eke out a living making pickles and pootharekhalu.

Arogyasri Asha workers, Anganawadi workers have not been paid their salaries. How can these poor women feed their families even if their meager salaries are denied to them?

When my father late Dr Rajasekhara Reddy tried his best to make lives easier for women, Chandrababu Naidu is depriving them of opportunities. Instead of empowering women, he's using them for party promotions. Chandrababu is buying 23 MLAs paying them Rs 20 crores. He has not spared any section of the society. Even Janmabhoomi committee is ridden with corruption. People have to bribe officials to get even ration and pension. Chandrababu had even promised to shut down belt shops saying it was wreaking homes. However, it's been four years since his rule and even though there's no mineral water to home, every home gets free supply of liquor with just a phone call. He had even promised to bring down power tariff before elections. But he didn't keep up his word. The electricity bill has doubled. The fuel prices too are much higher in our state when compared to Telangana or Karnataka. He has said that if farmers wanted their loans waived, women want their gold back, youth want their jobs...then Chandrababu should come to power. But what's the situation today? Reality hurts, isn't it? Gold never came back home but bank notices haven't stopped coming! He even sent his partymen to promise jobs for your kids irrespective of their educational qualification. He said if there were no jobs, he would give Rs 2000 to the jobless. But over the last four years, not even a penny has been paid. He has forgotten all his promises all these years and now with elections approaching Chandrababu is playing a new drama. Under the TDP regime, even RTC bus tickets are sold in black like movie tickets during festivals. Even the state of hospitals is no better. No loan waiver for farmers, no jobs for youth, high fuel prices, ration shops are corrupt, school fee is high, fee reimbursement scheme isn't reaching the beneficiaries, Arogyasri is completely diluted, power tariff has gone up..everything is corrupt. Amid all these troubles is Chandrababu's new dramas. If the Oscar committee watches his dramas, they can award him Uttama Villain award.

After four years of romance with the BJP during which the two sang praises of each other, TDP never thought of the state. But now, he's enacting new dramas after YSRCP highlighted the need for Special Category Status to State.
